Ingredients

200ml Waitrose Pure Orange Juice

2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano

150g Waitrose Ready To Eat Dried Apricots

150g Waitrose Ready To Eat Dried French Prunes

50g Merchant Gourmet Luxury Mi-Cuit Soft-Dried Tomatoes

8 Gaea Organic Olympian Olives, drained

500g pack Waitrose Fresh British Chicken Breast Fillets (4 fillets)

150ml dry white wine

1 tbsp light brown muscovado sugar

Method

Place all the ingredients except the wine and sugar in a shallow ovenproof dish and mix together. Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Preheat the oven to 190°C, gas mark 5. Pour the wine over the chicken mixture and stir well, then sprinkle the sugar over the chicken breasts.

Cook the chicken, uncovered, in the oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring once about halfway through, until it is thoroughly cooked. Pierce the thickest part of the chicken with a skewer to check that there is no pink meat and the juices are running clear. Serve immediately.

Safety Note: The Olympian olives are unpitted, so take care when eating. Remove the stones if you wish, though the olives will lose their shape.

Cook's tips

This dish works well made a day ahead, allowing the flavours time to develop. Store in the fridge until needed. To reheat, bring to the boil in a heavy-based pan, then simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes or until piping hot.

Variation

Use exotic fruit juice or mango juice as an alternative to the orange juice.
